Fus looked at him with a face that said she couldn't be bothered to point it out, while Duke showed no embarrassment at all.

He wouldn't mind such a way of healing even if he came every day.

Duke reached out and removed the mask from his face, his entire appearance and physique returning to their original form, along with his aura.

"It's more comfortable looking at you like this," Fus said, glancing over.

Hearing Fus's words, Duke shrugged noncommittally and casually stored the seemingly weightless Thousand Illusion Mask into the Space Ring, knowing it would definitely come in handy later.

"Alright, the transaction is complete, I should take my leave," Duke said, having already exceeded the purpose of his trip.

For him, it only consumed a small portion of his Power of Faith, and the gains were absolutely worth it.

Apart from some enjoyment during the healing process, the three treasures were also extremely valuable, definitely not a loss.

"Just a transaction? Hmph, let's go, it's time to go out," Fus said, seemingly a bit angry, walking ahead.

The soft robe once again faithfully outlined every inch of her curves, and as she walked, the robe's neckline inevitably opened slightly again, revealing a deep, alluring white cleavage and its edges with an astonishingly full curve, enough to make eyes dizzy.

Her slender waist seemed too fragile to grasp, as if it might break under the abundant weight of her upper body, yet it strangely supported a smooth and alluring S-shaped line.

She walked barefoot, her exquisite feet stepping lightly on the cold ground, leading the way for Duke.

The hem of the robe swayed slightly with her steps, and with every move, her long, well-proportioned legs and slender ankles flashed through the gaps, while the rounded heels and slightly tensed soles exuded a unique sensuality.

Her gait carried a natural languid charm and allure, her hips moving naturally with each step, the full and perky curves under the soft robe forming an enticing ripple as if ripe peaches, silently inviting.

Duke followed behind her, calmly admiring this earthly beauty, after all, it was there to be seen, no need to hide it.

The two walked one after the other out of the treasury, through the opulent carpeted hallway, returning to Fus's bedroom.

Fus stopped at the doorway.

"I'll see you off here, Mr. Duke," Fus said with a playful smile, her eyes sparkling.

Duke turned back for another glance, met with Fus's eye roll, then laughed and opened the door to leave.

The knights guarding on both sides did not stop him, allowing him to leave freely.

When Duke reached a courtyard in the center of the City Lord's Mansion, Todd was still waiting there, and upon seeing Duke, he quickly approached.

"Mr. Duke, how is the City Lord's injury? Is there a solution?" Todd asked with concern.

"No problem, it's already healed, all that's needed is some rest now," Duke said casually.

Todd exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? That's great..."

He had thought even if Duke could resolve the injury, it would take some time to prepare, not expecting it to be settled in such a short span.

Duke didn't linger much at the City Lord's Mansion, after a brief explanation to Todd, he left and returned to his Magic Potion Shop.

He was waiting for Robert's investigation results, meanwhile, he kept honing his proficiency.

...

Ten days later.

[Holy Shield level up, free attribute points +1]

[Holy Shield: Level 9 (Feature: Light Healing)]

[Light Healing: In addition to defense, the Holy Shield can slowly restore the main body's injuries]

During this time, through intense practice, Duke maxed out the Holy Shield magic, gaining the Light Healing feature.

The Holy Shield, originally just a defense type magic, now also had a recovery effect.

Duke noticed that when the Holy Shield leveled up, even 0.1 Spiritual Power couldn't be provided to himself.

Only upon reaching the maximum level could he gain a free attribute point.

[Constitution: 22.3]

[Strength: 23.2]

[Agility: 21.6]

[Spirit: 123.6]

[Free Attribute Points: 1]

Duke glanced at his attributes, realizing that after his Spiritual Power reached the level of 123.6, ordinary Level 1 Magic could hardly augment his Spiritual Power.

Moreover, since Curse Magic is relatively simple, perhaps only higher-tier Level 1 Magic could provide Spiritual Power upon leveling up.

Just as Duke was pondering the new feature of Holy Shield, familiar footsteps echoed outside the Magic Potion Shop.

Robert's figure soon appeared at the door, his face showing some fatigue but with an excited gleam in his eyes.

"Master Duke, the investigation results are in," Robert said respectfully after bowing, "All twenty-three teams we sent out have completed their investigations, and seven locations showed abnormal energy fluctuations."

The teams he dispatched were still at their respective locations, and these investigation reports were relayed to Robert in reality, who then compiled detailed data to report to Duke.

Duke took the data handed over by Robert, the document was thick, written on over twenty pieces of parchment.

It detailed the situation at each location, even places without abnormal energy fluctuations were recorded with very detailed information.

This was what Duke had requested earlier, just to obtain more complete information to make his own judgments.

Duke spent nearly an hour thoroughly reviewing this information, with Robert waiting by his side, occasionally answering Duke's questions.

Duke found that from the information, most places suspected to be Light God Ruins were actually just former temples and similar places for worshipping the God of Light.

These places were just related to the God of Light, some inscriptions recorded the God of Light's greatness and glorious deeds, etc.

But these places had no real connection to the Light God Ruins, the God of Light hadn't left any traces there, they were basically places where former followers of the God of Light were active.

Only the seven places with abnormal energy fluctuations were truly related to the Light God Ruins.

These places often preserved some of the God of Light's past power, for example, one place had a stele containing some energy.

Duke speculated that the stele likely contained some Power of Faith, as could be roughly inferred from signs.

However, this isn't what Duke truly desired, his fundamental goal in seeking the Light God Ruins was to find Light Attribute Crystal Cores.
